The construction of one-dimensional Pd nanoparticles/CNFs composite catalyst attached to the G-reactor@Ag and its application in Suzuki coupling reaction

Abstract

CNFs-Pd attached to the inner wall of a glass reactor, designated as G-reactor@Ag-CNFs-Pd, has been successfully constructed. First, the inner wall of the non-conductive glass reactor was covered by silver used the silver mirror reaction, so this G-reactor@Ag could be used to collect PdCl₂/PAN nanofibers. The fabricated G-reactor@Ag-CNFs-Pd exhibited a yield of 80% in Suzuki reaction within 5 h. The construction of G-reactor@Ag-CNFs-Pd will make a good contribution to design heterogeneous catalyst in a wide range of applications.
